    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    I heard about half the game on the radio, then watched MotD. It's incredible that we're still managing to dominate good teams despite being down to the bare bones. Missing a whole bunch of key players, the team still played as a team, attacked beautifully, created chances, and were seriously...

    He's been so underrated, and I had no idea he was that young. Unfortunately I think this is the season that his value rises. One of the bigger teams will be in for him soon.

    ...and here we go. Doubt we'll see him again before Christmas. Christmas 2024, that is.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    And Fergie just had to deal with a handful of reporters and their print newspapers who could only cover a finite amount of information. Now every word is scrutinised by millions on The Internet.

    I'll definitely look 'em up. I've got a lot of time for Robbie Earle as a pundit. Usually a considered delivery, rather than just blabbing away randomly. I wondered where Rzouki had come from, when reading her article. She writes well -- hopefully we'll be seeing more of her work in future.

    I was about to agree with you about the experience point, but then, Poch's squad wasn't that experienced to start off with. Sure, Eriksen had played a ridiculous number of matches for someone his age, but Dembele hadn't really made waves and Sonny had only a couple of seasons in Germany. And...

    That's a very good point. Angeball has very specific requirements for goalkeeper and central defenders, which pushes many to the limits of their comfort zones -- I mean, if a player was that comfortable on the ball, they'd usually have ended up in CM (and certainly not between the sticks!) some...

    Attacking midfielders. Or wingers and a no.10, whatever you want to call them. Poch's team was arguably 4-2-3-1 (before going to a back 5 later on), whereas I'd describe our current formation as 4-3-3, but you've got to make a comparison somehow! Unless what you mean is that the current AMs...

    It's accepted knowledge that good CBs are relatively easy to find, so they don't command high prices -- unlike creative midfielders or strikers. Finding a truly great CB though, or even a great CB partnership...now that doesn't happen often. Especially when you're expecting them to be good...

    Okay, now I'm conflicted. Mate.

    Cann we?

    Interestingly, Fantasy Premier League rate the difficulties as 3 + 2 for us, then 2 + 3 for both Liverpool and City, and 4 + 2 for Arsenal. Although I'd probably rate Luton at home a 1 and Brentford away a 4. It won't be easy, but I don't see the chances of us getting 6 points as any lower than...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Chelsea OMT***

    I've just seen the MotD highlights from their match against Brentford. Chelsea dominated possession (69%) and had plenty of chances - but their finishing was terrible. We absolutely shouldn't be underestimating them.

    Cann we?

    I'm guessing he means Mahrez. The problem is that we don't currently have 2 real scorers! If Richi, Kulu or Johnson starts banging them in, great. Otherwise, I think we'd need a 30-goal season from Sonny to get anywhere close.

    Cann we?

    Is anyone else getting annoyed by all the comments about the great Spurs double side getting 27 points from 9 games (or 30 from 10 now)? They didn't. It was 2 points for a win in those days.

    That seems pretty fair. While Vicario seems a brilliant signing in hindsight, there were plenty (myself included) wondering why we were taking a punt on a relatively unknown young Italian when a decent keeper with Prem experience was available.

    And even that would show good introspection. Regardless of his reasons, he seems an excellent mix of sense and passion. A real leader at the back.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Being a cynical old man, I view such quotes with a degree of suspicion. If taken at face value, on the other hand, one has to question why... Did Vicario see it as his chance to become long term #1 keeper at a major club? That'd imply a decent degree of footballing knowledge, knowing Lloris...
